Assembling the Trap
1.
Fill the black bucket with water up to the drainage holes
(about 0.8 gallon / 3 liters) [F1].
2. Add organic material to the water. (e.g., one leaf, some
blades of grass or dry hay, one or two pieces of rabbit
chow, or alfalfa pellets [F2]). This will act as an additional
attractant for the mosquitoes.
3. To avoid the development of larvae in the water, we
recommend either
• to check the bucket once a week for larvae and, if
present, to empty, clean, and refill it [F3]
or alternatively
• to add the biological larvicide Bti ("mosquito dunks"
and similar products) [F4].
4. Put the barrier net over the open end of the translucent
chamber. Then tighten the top part of the barrier net by
pulling the cord of the bag tightly [F5].
5.
Tighten the barrier net in place with the mounting ring
that is delivered with the trap: Start by laying the ring
over the net on one side [F6]. Then press the ring down
on all sides of the chamber [F7] until the ring fits snuggly.
6.
Place the translucent chamber into the black, water-filled
trap bucket [F8].
Attention:
When using the trap for the first time, the smell of the new plastic may have a repellent effect on the mosquitoes.
This is normal and will fade away in the first two weeks.
